The Death Dealing Car-Hcating stove
Must Give Place to Some Other and Safer
Method Of Securing the Comfort OF Fas-
sengers-The Matter to he Urged BeSoro
Congress.
WAsHINoroN, Oct. 1I-Congress will be
urged this winter to pass some measure
looking to the correction Of the present
system of heating railroad cars. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that the stoves
now in use have more than doubled the
number Of victims in railroad accidents.
It is thought bill will be introduced for
bidding the use of stoves in railroad.
cars. This would have the effect, 10
il believed, of forcing the roads to
invent some substitute for the fatal stove
that would insure greater safety to the
travelling public. In this relation it is
possible that bill will be introduced to
license railway conductors and engineers.
At the meeting Of the National Associa-
tion of Conductors last summer q bill was
prepared on this subject which will
be submitted to Congress this win
ter. The first section of the act pro-
vides that on and after July 1, 1889, no
railroad in the United States engaged in
Transportation from one State or Territory
to another or to q foreign country, shall
employ or permit any person to serve as
conductor or engineer unless such person
is licensed as provided in the act. The
second section provides for the appoint
ment of chief examiner by the President,
by and with the advice and consent Of the
Senate. to carry out the provisions OF
the act, to receive salary of 81, 800 with
travelling expenses, who shall from time
to time report to the Secretary of the
Treasury. Another section authorizes the
appointment by the chief examiner OF ten
supervising examiners, at a salary OF
$500 per year each and travelling ex-
penses, all to be selected for knowledge,
skill and experience in railway train serv-
ice and the operation Of trains and en-
gines. The chief and supervising exam
liners shall meet in this city and or.
ganize on the second Wednesday OF
each January following. With the APP
prevail of the Secretary Of the Treasury
they shall divide the United States into
ten districts, and in each district there
shall be two district examiners, one con-
ductor and the other an engineer, at sal
ary of 81, 600 per annum, and in addition,
assistant examiners when their services
are actually needed, at salary not ex-
ceeding 81, 500 per annum.
Under the provisions of this act the con.
ductors and engineers are required to
show their license on the demand Of any
passenger. The railroad companies en-
ploying an unlicensed conductor or engi-
neer are subject to q fine of $500. It is not
thought this measure will pass in its pres.
emit form, but many members are confident
that general discussion of the subject
will result in some legislation Of benefit to
the travelling public.

result OF the negligence of the train dispatcher
Of said road in permitting passenger train No.

element over the downfall of the Stafford
Spring Bank continues to run very high.
United States National Bank Examiner
Forman has been here since this morning
and says that the shortage grows bigger
and bigger. The latest investigation, he
said, reveals the fact that the deficit, &C
cording to the exact figures, is $4,000,
but there is no doubt that it is in excess
of that amount, which further investiga-
ton will verify. Aside from the above
the bank debts amounted to 10000 in ad-
dition to what is recorded in the books in
the way of notes, making an aggregate OF
over $159, 900. The examiners will proba-
bly, be able to render some definite account
relative to the condition OF the savings

 1. As mines and real estate, or inheritable interest in real estate; the act does apply to them.
 2. As stock in corporation is personally, an alien can lawfully have, own and hold shares of stock issued by an American corporation which is now the owner of mineral lands in territories, but if the hold Ing by aliens exceeds 20 per cent such corporation can neither ac- quire, hold, own, nor hereafter ac- quire real estate while more than 20 per cent of such stock is held and owned by aliens.
 3. Under the act, the advance ment of money hereafter by aliens for the purpose of developing min ing property is lawful, but no in- terest in real estate can be acquir- ed by such advancement, nor would an alien have the right to purchase the real estate, nor any interest therein on loan made since the passage of the act, even if sold or his own security or lien.
 1. Aliens may lawfully contract with American owners to work mines by personal contracts for hire, or by bona fide leases, for a; reasonable time.
